Bellevue: Remodeled Rambler Under $500

Here’s a great example of an under-$500K find in the Lake Hills section of Bellevue. See an earlier post of mine for more about the area.

This perky rambler has been remodeled and is bright, colorful and very neat. Some highlights are the spacious laundry/crafts room, which has a new washer/dryer on a raised platform with built in cabinets, counters and desk area all around; a bright family room with doors out to the flat, user-friendly backyard; and well-chosen vibrant but tasteful paint colors throughout.

Note that there is only one bathroom. However, there are a couple of places (off the family room or on the bedroom wing) where it seems adding another would be possible. For parking, there is a covered carport, for one car, that felt small to me. The house is set back from the street, creating a big, flat, grassy front yard, ripe with possibility.
